Nice hotel - Easy Subway access!

Pros: The hotel was comfortable and had everything we needed in the neighborhood. Really appreciated the amount of English spoken by the staff!!

Location: The location is away from downtown. In the evenings we walked out to watch the couples dancing and singing on the sidewalks.

This hotel is not in the middle of downtown but it has everything we needed. The rooms were comfortable. The hotel offered the services we needed. There is a full shopping mall under the hotel on the way to the Subway. The subway access was easy and we could get in to downtown easily. In the evening we took the subway in to downtown and grabbed a taxi back. The hotel did a great job helping us with getting transportation.
We speak essentially no Chinese. Our son was with us and he speaks some Chinese, but in the hotel, we could get by without our son because most people spoke some English or there was someone nearby that could help with any translating that was needed.
Around the hotel is a nice neighborhood. Lots of restaurants to chose from as well as convenience stores for all of the little things we needed to pick up. We really enjoyed our stay! Nice place. Great value.

Very nice hotel with mall & metro in same complex

Posted May 30, 2017

Hotel has upscale look and really good gym and locker room. Pool is small,nothing special. Spa looked nice but ridiculously over-priced considering the options for inexpensive spa treatments nearby. Location-wise, not much nearby from tourism perspective, but having metro stop under the hotel made that moot. Having a mall and grocery store under the hotel was even better! I'd stay there again.

It was an utter pleasure to stay here. The room was immaculate and grand in every way. The service was unbelievably professional and assiduous. The breakfast, pool, sauna and gym were all of considerably high quality. I cannot recommend it enough.

Good value 5 star hotel in the heart of Shanghai

Posted Dec 29, 2016 on Hotels

It's good value for money overall. The only downside is the pre-set room temperature making it very uncomfortable to sleep through the night. We raised it with the hotel staff and were told it's set at 17-24 degree Celsius, but it was too warm when covered with blanket or too cold without.

Business hotel

Posted Dec 5, 2016 on Hotels

It's a good hotel if you want to rest. No recreation or nightlife surrounding. Breakfast option was great. Consierge service was not great. Not enough door man to help with luggage which you expect in a 4-5 star hotel. Nearby Starbucks, 24/7 Family mart & a Burger King might be handy in China. Club lounge is good and open till midnight. But food service & drinks stop around 8pm. For business traveler the rate of hotel is fair. But if you want walking distance night life for various restaurants & bars....might not be the right choice. I would grade this a 3.5/4 star hotel.....definitely not a 5 star.

Good location

Posted Nov 30, 2016 on Hotels

The room is nice and clean. The area is a little quiet given that it is near a residential. It has a mall beside the hotel but nothing much except some restaurant and a super market. Below the mall is an access to subway which is convenient because it is hard to get a cab on weekends. The place is 20+ minutes from every significant attraction in Shanghai which includes Yuyuan, Tian Zi Fang, Shanghai Pearl Tower, Xin Tian Di etc.
